Hi guys

Generally ..I think the most important aim when you want to go to any institute or any university or any school is :
How you can learn there !

And I think the competition at your class is a nice thing , but it is not that huge goal which most of students " as I think " want to do it at any instructional institute .

I agree with that competitive factor makes a very good effects to students , and It pushes them to be better .

but some students can't understand this meaning , and they understand and give different meaning of competition " like my friend in my class " , so they might change the class to battlefield ..

Helloooooo, Herc!!!!!!!! Well done!!!!!

Keep "fighting" with your competitors, , maybe someday you will find the biggest competitor is yourself, what's important , is to enjoy that!

Hi Torsten

Generaly...Yes,in this crazy life there is a winner and there is a loser ..

And I'm sure that nobody likes to be the loser and I'm sure that he hopes be the winner , or not the winner , but the biggest winner , and this is a physicality of everybody .
and not be the loser is a big shame , and the loss can be very useful ...

there is Arabic proverb says :

The weak hit makes the competitor stronger ..

So , the loss gives lessons of how you can be a winner , and how you can avoid the next " hit " and how you can change your loss to big victory ..

Hi Herc,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me. Could you please give me an example where your winner/loser principle applies in a "real life" situation?

Hi Torsten

I think there are many forms of principles that apply in a real life .

Simply , at my first work "The government job " for example ...
I have to be the best one in the department " like winner " to prove myself firstly there then to keep my work secondly..

The loser situation , and till now, I have never tried being a loser , and I hope I won't try that ..

Maybe , I've felt the loss feeling when I lost my love ...

Wow, Herc!!!
Why do you think there must to be winners or losers? That is a crazy idea. Just try your bests to do things better. Of course, you may be affected by somebody or something, but finally, it is yourself who will decide what to do . When I say "the biggest competitor is yourself " I mean , we have to overcome most of shortcomings of our own.
Of course, I won't forget that you are a real warrior , , who is different from "Hero", do you know why?

Mabrook/well done Mba!

Keep up the good work and you'll always be rewarded, whether or not you're the first (which incidentally doesn't really matter much in my book).

[Yankee]

Fantastic, Herc and Mba!

You've both done very well. Being first is nice. But no matter whether you're first or not, your achievement is really something to be proud of!
